Description
 
Te Mata Estate is New Zealand's oldest winery, dating from the early 1890's. Vines were first planted at Te Mata Estate in 1892 on three parcels of hillside land above the homestead. Today, Te Mata Estate still utilises those original three vineyards to produce its most famous wines; Coleraine, Awatea and Elston.

Coleraine - Regarded as New Zealand’s greatest red wine. First Coleraine was made from the 1982 vintage and created an instant sensation within New Zealand for its quality. Originally a single vineyard wine, from 1989 Coleraine has been an assemblage of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc wines produced from thirty plots within Te Mata Estate’s nine Hawke’s Bay vineyards.

The 2021 Merlot Cabernet comprises 49% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc. At $25NZD (circa $15 USD), this is ultra elegant. On the nose, it is leafy, earthy, spicy and brambly, and in the mouth, it's a classic, light to medium-bodied Bordeaux blend. It's a lovely, fleshy, brambly and juicy wine with blood plums, damsons, bay leaf and salted licorice. Excellent value for the money! Resolved, savory and so good. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.Wine Advocate 90
